List of most-liked YouTube videos
This list of most-liked YouTube videos contains the top 30 videos with the most likes of all time, taken directly from the video page. The American video platform YouTube implemented a like and dislike button on these pages in March 2010, part of a major redesign of the site. This served as a replacement for their five-star rating system;[1] YouTube's designers found the previous system ineffective because the options to rate a video between two and four stars were rarely selected.[2]
